Book Reviews: January

I am so happy to say that my reading year has started out fantastic!  My first read of the year was one of my favorites yet and I haven't read a book yet that I didn't enjoy!  I'm really enjoying Erin's challenge! 

Linking up HERE

I have so many feelings about this book that I'm not even sure I can write a good review right now.  I think this book will get a post of its own.  If I don't get around to writing a review, just take my word for it and read this book ... 5/5

After the heaviness of Beartown, I really needed something light and cute.  This book was just what I needed.  There were some parts that were annoying because it tried a bit too hard to be angsty, but for the most part it was a cute story.  My favorite part of this book is that Reagan and Dee's friendship was a central part of the story rather than just the love story.  It was cliche and a bit predictable, but I enjoyed it ... 3/5

This book would have been so much better if it was just a tad shorter because holy hell did some parts just drag on!  Other than that, though, I enjoyed it.  It just took me a bit to get through and it was a bit overly wordy.  It's basically a Will and Kate fan-fiction so if that doesn't sound like your thing, then I probably wouldn't bother but if it does then it's an enjoyable read ... 3/5

I really enjoyed this book.   I know that the maid was a fictional character, but the facts about how Andrew Carnegie rose through the ranks and became so wealthy are actually true.  It was interesting to learn more about the Carnegie's, a family I knew very little about before reading this.  I also enjoyed reading about and Irish immigrant.  Even though Claire was a fictional character, the hardships she and her family faced were very real at the time - my Grandmothers family were Irish immigrants, so hearing different stories is always interesting to me.   This is a solid read and I'd definitely recommend it ... 4/5.
